Or maybe a newspaper that was known to peddle Iraq War propaganda shouldn't be treated as the source of truth when it comes to known about America's enemies. I'm not saying that it's wrong in this instance, but it's definitely sensational.
The Economist trusts that its readers can come to their own conclusion when it comes to extrajudicial extraditions. Just because they said something positive about China's motivations, doesn't mean they're kowtowing to China.

- flangola7 4y agoWhat do you mean?
- lenkite 4y agoI mean the assertion that this was a Russian-op instead of a US-op and that the journalist is spreading misinformation. (They said the same thing about Hersh earlier too btw and were proved wrong - twice). The denials will be ameliorated after several years when no one cares about it.
- flangola7 4y agoWhat? Even with a conspiratorial mindset there's no reason to believe NATO blew up their own pipeline. There's "Iraq was justified" errors and then there's "9/11 was an inside job" errors and you're getting them confused.
- lenkite 4y agoIt wasn't NATO's pipeline. This is the same journalist who exposed the My Lai Massacre and its denial and coverup btw. And the President Joe Biden also exactly said this: “If Russia invades, there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2, we will bring an end to it.”
- Aunche 4y ago> NYT fired editors and journalists over that This isn't quite what the article says. It mentions Howell Raines, but he seemed to have been ousted due to staff discontent as well as a plagiarism scandal [1]. The article also mentions Judith Miller, and her case was interesting to say the least. The NYT assigned her to work closely with American intelligence, so of course she's going to report what they have to say, so she was somewhat of a scapegoat. Then, in 2005, she gets arrested at the behest of the CIA for refusing to disclose the leaker in the Plame scandal. Only then, over a year after the NYT apologized about being wrong in Iraq, did they pressure her to resign.

- pjc50 4y agoThere's a large number of Trump associates (but not Trump himself) who've been successfully prosecuted for various sorts of overseas "collusion". This is much more than the zero one would expect. e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trials_of_Paul_Manafort https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trials_of_Paul_Manafort ; linked to Viktor Yanukovych, of the pro-Russian faction in Ukraine.
- gadders 4y agoSo still no evidence of Trump collusion then? Got it. What's your view of Hunter Biden being paid by Burisma?
- pjc50 4y agoDoes it matter? If Manafort's corruption doesn't reflect on Trump, does Hunter's corruption reflect on Joe?
- gadders 4y agoExactly. It goes both ways.
